I wrote a long reply and failed to post. So I will do a short one now.
Compared to your 5172, CDV is a tad dressier and have more vintage look. The Lange chronographs are technically superb to both 5172 and CDV but does not give a warm/organic feel. I have considered all four chronographs and ended up with 5172 and CDV since I want something more organic.
If I had access to the boutique edition 1815, it may have swayed me away from the CDV.
One additional point for the CDV, it size and case shape is very good for smaller wrist so this is a good watch to share with the wife. I did and now I created a watch monster. ;-) So if you don’t want to spend 2x on watches, you may want to avoid sharing.
